RIEDEL O Wine Tumbler Syrah/Shiraz

"The handy machine-made Syrah and Shiraz glass of the space-saving glass collection O Wine Tumbler attracts attention through its stemless design. This makes it less susceptible to glass breakage and easy to put into the dishwaser. It is shaped to deliver the classic Syrah aromas of toast and black olives. On the palate, it brings out the wine's silky, velvety structure and balanced flavours. The tannins melt into the fruit, appearing sweet rather than acerbic on the back palate. "O" is the ideal glass for everyday use and for every occasion. It is fun, feels good to hold, looks trendy and it works! All RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher safe. "

O Wine Tumbler

2003

The O Wine Tumbler is the first varietal specific wine tumbler in history. O is an innovative take on the casual wine glass, giving total wine enjoyment. This wine glass series is based on the benchmark shapes of VINUM to enhance the world’s most important grape varietals. The tumbler, used for centuries as an allround drinking vessel, is now turned into a sophisticated wine accessory. Broken stems are a thing of the past.

We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are “cut”, which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being “rolled” which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.
